These lemon curd whole wheat pancakes are moist, thin and fluffy. Very easy to make and perfectly paired with fresh raspberries and pure maple syrup. There is no lemon curd in them. I’ve named them “lemon curd” pancakes, because of the cottage cheese used in the recipe.

Madeleines are an amazing little snack I used to have all the time as a child in Paris. They’re easy to make, incredibly tasty (seriously, try eating just one!), and in my opinion, carry an elegance that’s lost when serving most alternatives—for example, cupcakes.

Wow your dinner guests with this easy Braised Lamb Chops with Cranberry-Harissa Chutney recipe! Perfectly flavored fall-off-the-bone tender perfection. If you don’t want to make the cranberry chutney, you can just use the wine-lemon braising liquid as a gravy. Delicious!

Description

This isn’t a meal, but it’s yummy. Oh, I absolutely love Pico de Gallo—the freshness of tomatoes, the clean flavor of cilantro, the cool, crisp wonderfulness of it all.

Ingredients

FOR THE PICO DE GALLO:

5 wholePlum (roma) Tomatoes

½ wholeLarge (or 1 Small) Onion

3 wholeJalapeno Peppers

Cilantro

Lime Juice

Salt To Taste

_____

FOR THE GUACAMOLE:

3 wholeAvocados

Pico De Gallo

Lime Juice

Salt To Taste

Preparation

Pico de Gallo:
Chop jalapenos, tomatoes and onions into a very small dice. (Leave seeds in your jalapenos for a hotter pico). Adjust amount of jalapenos to your preferred temperature. Next, chop up a nice-sized bunch of cilantro. Just remove and discard the long leafless stems before chopping. No need to remove the leaves from the stems completely. Place all of these ingredients together in a bowl and give it a good stir.

Squeeze the juice of half of one lime into the bowl. Add salt to taste and stir again.

Guacamole:
Start with buttery-soft avocados. Halve them lengthwise and remove the pits. Next, with a spoon scrape the “meat” out onto a large plate. Next, with the bottom of a clean cup (or with a fork) mash the avocados, making sure to leave it relatively chunky. Add just a couple of shakes of salt to taste. Next, add a generous helping of Pico de Gallo. Fold together. Lastly squeeze the juice of half of a lime over the top. Give it one last stir.

AMAZING!!! The best pico & guacamole I’ve ever tasted. I received rave reviews from friends when I brought to a recent cook-out. They couldn’t get enough…and neither could I. Unfortunately it was so good I didn’t have any left overs to bring home
